"The children are still young, and there is still a lot to learn and improve in stage performance." The man named John Lee said, "the guests at the Billboard Awards ceremony are all the top artists in the world. This time, they are not performing guests. We applied with the organizer to see the rehearsal of performing guests, so that they can learn how the top artists communicate with all parties in the rehearsal stage, how to prepare for a perfect performance, and enhance their ability and experience in this aspect. "
"Another one to see the rehearsal." Nicky Thompson thought of Xiao Yao and said in his heart, "but they are much more formal and serious than Xiao Yao. No, they came on their own initiative. Yang was called by Amy. He didn''t plan to come. Naturally, there was no agent to follow and he didn''t contact the organizer. "
"Oh," Amy Hatton nodded strangely, "shouldn''t you be in the auditorium now?"
"Mr. Scott is rehearsing ahead." John Lee said, "all the details of his stage performance have been determined and will not be changed. Now he is repeating and getting familiar with it. It should be over soon. We know Miss Thompson is the next rehearsal artist, and she has arrived, so we want to visit her first. "
"Miss Thompson, this is our new single last month. Please give me more advice!" One of the seven young men took out a box, bent over and handed it to Nikki Thompson.
"This..." Nicky Thompson looked at the young man with hesitation.
"This is the tradition of the Korean performing arts circle and the habit of many Korean artists." Xiao Yaodao sitting on the sofa.
Xiao Yao has participated in the recording of music TV programs in South Korea together with the Korean idol girl group gstar. He has seen this set of programs in South Korea''s entertainment circle, especially in the music idol circle.
"Who is this?" Attracted by Xiao Yao''s voice, John Li turned to look at him and asked Amy Hatton.
When he came in just now, he saw a young asian man and a young white man sitting on the sofa on one side of the lounge. They were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked bulky. When these people came in, they didn''t do anything. John Lee thought they were Nicky Thompson''s bodyguard or driver. At this time, when he heard the Asian man interrupt, his guess was obviously wrong.
"This is Yang Xiao, a superstar from China!" Amy Hatton pointed to Xiao Yao and Tim haggis and said, "this is Mr. haggis, American, a friend of Mr. Xiao."
"His bodyguard, too!" Tim haggis sat down on the sofa and waved, adding. He was not interested in these Korean stars, so he just waved his hand and didn''t get up from the sofa.
"Young Shaw?" John Lee is not interested in Tim haggis, but looks at Xiao Yaodao unexpectedly.
"Xiao Yao Xi?" Seven people in that group were also surprised.
"Hello, I''m Xiao Yao." Xiao Yao stood up from the sofa and went to several people, nodding slightly. He still spoke English, but changed his name to Chinese pronunciation.
"Mr. Xiao, are you also the rehearsal guest?" John Lee asked, "as far as I know, your name doesn''t seem to be on the guest list for this award ceremony."
"Do you think I look like a rehearsal guest?" Xiao Yao pointed to his clothes and said with a smile.
"Then why are you here?" The strange way of John leech.
"Mr. Shaw is our stage director," said Amy Hatton. "He''s here to advise Nicky on his stage performance."
"Wow," said John Lee in surprise.
"In fact, I don''t think I can help much," Xiao said with a smile. "In fact, like you, I want to see how the world''s top artists rehearse with the purpose of learning. It''s just that I''m not even a guest at the ceremony, and I don''t even have the opportunity to apply to the organizer to watch the rehearsal. In order to satisfy my wish, Ms. Hatton asked me to be the so-called "stage director." when Xiao Yao said about the stage director, he raised his hands, bent two fingers and made a "double quotation mark" gesture, "temporarily let me join their team and bring me in."
"This ~ ha ha!"
John Li doesn''t really believe what Xiao Yao said, but if Xiao Yao wants to be a guest at the ceremony, he means to look down on the billboard award ceremony. After all, Xiao Yao hasn''t been active in the United States in the past two years. It''s not appropriate to follow Xiao Yao''s words. He didn''t know how to answer Xiao Yao''s words, so he just laughed twice.
"Xiao Yao Xi, you are too modest." One of the young men in the group said, "the stage you designed when you were 18 was so good. Now it must be even better."
"Miss Thompson, you made a great choice." The young man turned to Nicky Thompson and said, "if young were your stage director, I''m sure your performance would be the best in the whole award ceremony!"
"The best?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "you look up to me too much!""When I was eighteen?" Amy Hatton recognized something, looked at the group and said, "did you know Mr. Shaw before?"
"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "we once participated in a music TV program jointly produced by Chinese and Korean TV stations. I was 18 years old that year."
"I only took part in one program," Xiao Yao said to the Korean group. "I didn''t expect you to remember it!"
"No, to be exact, it should be two phases. No, it should be three phases!" The former member of the group said, "in one stage, we designed our own stage performance. In another stage, we did not perform, but we designed two performance stages. In another stage, we only knew afterwards that the masked DJ on the live stage was you. You participated in three programs and won three titles. Of course, we are very impressed
"Is it?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I thought you were impressed because of Mr. Sky Park Dacheng."
This btbs combination has intersected with Xiao Yao before. Xiao Yao took part in a Sino Korean joint audio program during the winter vacation of his senior year. At that time, two old artists from China and South Korea were selected as team leaders and young artists from China were selected as team members for the competition. Xiao Yao and Chen Chen worked together as members of the first phase of Shazhou, and this btbs group was a men''s group under Park Dacheng at that time.
Before Xiao Yao took part in that program, Korean young artists won three titles in the first four programs, which was obviously dominant. However, after Xiao Yao went, he not only won the current title, but also helped Huaxia artists win two single titles behind the scenes in the last two programs, which made Huaxia''s single Title account for the total number Half.
In the previous episodes of that program, because young Korean artists performed much better than young Chinese artists, the subordinate groups of the two Korean captains were changed. Generally, if you win a single championship, you can change the players. In addition, you can pull other groups in South Korea to compete.
Btbs only went to the fourth program, one earlier than Xiao Yao. Although the fourth period did not get the championship, but the results are quite good. Originally, they thought that after the champion returned home, they could take the next stage champion and return home for a rest. Unexpectedly, after Xiao Yao joined, Huaxia won three single stage champions in a row.
The former South Korean group won three titles in a row, and the latter China won three titles in a row. As a result, the South Korean group participating in the latter three programs has been criticized by many media and fans in South Korea and ridiculed by competitors.
At the end of the program, after the group returned to South Korea, its subsequent development was also affected. Almost a year later, the company adjusted its development strategy and shifted its target market from China and South Korea to Europe and the United States. Although it seems that they have developed well in Europe and the United States in the past four years, the number of fans seems to be quite large, and the results on various lists after the release of the songs are fairly good, the real situation is not as good as it seems.
Although South Korea has a good relationship with Europe and the United States, there are still many cultural differences between Europe, the United States and Asia, especially in East Asia. It is not so easy for them to push Korean culture to Europe and the United States. Their fans are mainly concentrated in the younger middle school students, and most of the European and American audiences and their entertainers do not recognize and accept them. They are far from and unlikely to reach the popularity of Sky Park in the European and American entertainment circles.
The reason why their company will change its strategy and arrange them to enter the European and American markets is that the audio program of that year and the subsequent influence of the program are very big, and tracing back to the source, Xiao Yao, who was killed in the air in that program, can be said to be the most fundamental reason.
When they took part in that program, they were members of park''s team. Their combination has developed well in Europe and the United States in recent years. In addition to the efforts of their company and themselves, Sky Park Dacheng, who has a good reputation in Europe and the United States, is also a very important reason for their support and help. In that program, Xiao Yao had a dispute with Park Dacheng, which made Park Dacheng apologize in public.
Combined with these reasons, they have no good feelings for Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao''s memory is very good. Naturally, I remember that they participated in that program that year. Although he didn''t know that this group was forced to develop in Europe and America, he remembered that this group was a member of Park Dacheng''s team at that time, and he had a bad time with Park Dacheng in the program.
At the beginning, Xiao Yao was not sure whether this group remembered and cared about the events in that program, so it was normal. However, when they mentioned the words "Eighteen" and "the most wonderful", it seemed that they were praising them, but actually meant to put themselves up, Xiao Yao was naturally rude.
Xiao Yao didn''t have much interaction with this Korean group in that program, and there was no direct conflict. The only reason why they were unhappy with themselves was that they were a member of park''s team at that time, and he was unhappy with park and lost park''s face. So Xiao Yao called park''s name directly.As there are Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson nearby, Xiao Yao speaks English when he talks with the group. Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson can understand.
“Sky？” Amy Hatton asked curiously, "has Mr. Xiao ever been on the show with Mr. park?"
"Yang, is there a story between you and sky?" Nicky Thompson also asked curiously.
Nicky Thompson has been famous for more than five years, and Amy Hatton has been an agent for more than five years. Both of them have experienced sky''s popularity in Europe and America. Naturally, they know who Xiao Yao said sky is.
"I''m sorry," the young man in the group said, bowing slightly to Nicky Thompson and Amy Hatton. "We have to visit other artists. Let''s go first!"
They didn''t want to say that park Dacheng was forced by Xiao Yao to apologize in public in the program, and they didn''t want to hear Xiao Yao tell them about it, so they said goodbye.
"OK," Nicky Thompson looked at Xiao Yao and took the CD box from the young man''s hand with a smile. "Thank you for your gifts. I''ll listen to you!"
"See you in the auditorium later!" John Lee bows goodbye to Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson.
"See you later!" They also bent slightly to indicate.
"Young, I can see they don''t like you!" After eight people left, Nicky Thompson said to Xiao Yao, "can you tell me the story between you?"
"In fact, there is no story between us!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "we just once participated in a program together, but there was no story!"
"It''s about sky!" Nicky Thompson said, "you just said, you were only eighteen at that time? Sky is more than 20 years older than you. At that time, it should be more than 40 years old. I''m curious about what can happen between you 18 and sky in your 40s! "
"You..." Xiao Yao is ready to speak with a smile when he is interrupted by Nicky Thompson.
"Forget it, don''t say it!" Nicky Thompson waved his hand. "You''re a liar. I can''t believe what you said!"
"Hey, I said, I didn''t cheat you, but I chose to hide something." Xiao Yao is not happy.
"Well, I''m afraid you will choose to hide some things, which will make me have some misunderstandings!" Nicky Thompson said.
"Jennie, check it for me!" Nicky Thompson turned to his assistant and said, "when young was 18, that was five or six years ago. Five or six years ago, the music TV program, Yang, btbs and sky jointly produced by Huaxia and South Korea participated in that program. It should be very easy to find. You check all the relevant news for me. You should know what I want to know. "
"Good!" The female assistant nodded, took out her cell phone and sat on the sofa.
